Great news...good for you! Remember now...those guys told me that it could be the parts as well as the install that cause the noises, Eaton and Moser so try to get the best quality you can afford! And glad to see that this guy explained the stress damage that can be caused by the strain of those large tires 
Good luck with your new gears and looking forward to the update. I hope they work out for you and do not cause any of the headaches others have experienced. IMO- it seems like too much of a mod and $$$ for a 35" tire- might as well go to a 37" tire to make it worth your while!
On a side note... I wonder how many people with OEM LSD gears (3.92s I'm assuming since it has LSD) and 35s had a rear end that only lasted a month?

What ratio did you end up going with dude? You put on 1200+ miles a week with a truck that gets 13-20 mpg and expensive tires? Wow you must spend a fortune on gas and tires! Best of luck with everything, let us know how it works out. "Don't fear the gear..."

I went with 4.10's and with the programmer im getting about 19 miles per gallon so if it goes down to 18 or 17 I can live with it. My Mileage is re-embursed so I dont care so much about that. I went with the Detroit True Track.
And for Section88.... I actually need the lift kit and suspention for my job, yeah I have one of the cool ones where I get way over paid to go off road. I do however appreciate your concern for my alleged short commings. I will be sure to double check with the wife and make sure im not compensating as well, as this could change everything. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention as it could be a cause for concern.

Especially considering the fact that 'this guy' is trying to make a sale...

Ok so I decided to go with the 4.10's. They are getting installed next Thursday. Rick from www.drivetrainspecialists.com was AWESOME. Gave me a lil doscount here and there and I feel like I got a good deal. 2400.00 for Gears, rebuild kits, a Detroit locker and install (install at my local shop). I cant wait to see how it goes.
